"I was keen to use the same instructor that my friend trained with but unfortunately she was fully booked. So after searching Google, I came across Smiles Driving and decided to book some lessons, with no knowledge of the quality of tuition I would receive.  I am so pleased that I decided to use Sam at Smiles Driving, as I PASSED FIRST TIME with only 4 faults.  A big thank you to Sam for her patience and efforts to get me through my test."

"Passing my driving test was a huge relief, but at the same time a great achievement for me.  After being slightly let down by my current instructor, I needed to find an alternative instructor who would improve my driving skills and help me pass my test.  Thanks Sam for all your help and especially for the extra videos and emails received outside my lessons - I would be happy to recommend you to anyone that needs to learn to drive."

"I was so pleased to be able to pass my driving test (FIRST TIME PASS) with Sam at Smiles Driving.  I was quite concerned that my English was not clear enough to be able to pass my test and that I may not understand the examiner on the test day.  However, Sam helped me lots and gave me confidence in myself to achieve my goal. Keeping the lesson plan simple, clear and explaining the exact process that was expected on my practical test - Thanks Sam"

"I was so nervous to take driving lessons and found it quite challenging at the beginning. Although Sam said I picked it up extremely quickly, I still felt scared of other road users during my lessons.  I gradually gained confidence during my time with Sam and after 4 months of weekly lessons I passed my Driving Test with a FIRST TIME attempt.  I couldn't believe it and was so pleased"

During the lessons Sam delivered many Mock Tests and helped me perfect my Manoeuvres.

"My lessons with Sam have been great and I looked forward to them every week.  I was chuffed to bits when I passed my test, as I had just moved jobs where if not passing my test, it would require me to catch 2 buses.  The timing of passing my test was just perfect.  I had taken many Mock Tests prior to my test with Sam and she made sure I passed them, to enable me to be confident in taking my test.  I would highly recommend Sam at Smiles Driving to anyone that requires a friendly, patient instructor."

"I've enjoyed my lessons with Sam, as she stayed calm and patient with me throughout the whole process.  I had been driving my mums Automatic car for a short while previous to taking driving lessons, but I wanted to be able to drive a Manual car.  I was particularlly nervous of the gears at the start of the lessons but with perserverance it all became quite easy.  I was delighted to have passed my Driving Test first time and would be more than happy to recommend Sam to all my friends and family."

"After quite a number of years wanting to pass my Driving Test, I eventually achieved my goal.  I had taken driving lessons on and off over a period of time with different instructors and due to having kids and other reasons I never quite got to the stage where I could take my test.  Some of the instructors I used were not approachable or understood my needs, but Sam at Smiles Driving was excellent.  She adapted her teaching style to suit my ability and we got on great! 

She was very calm and patient with me and knew I was initially very nervous.  I will miss my lessons with Sam but will stay in touch. I highly recommend her, if you are needing lessons."

"I had taken lessons years ago, but never quite got to the test level and kept putting it off.  I recently had a couple of 5 day Intensive courses, with tests at the end of each course but unfortunately didn't pass them.  I had to re-think my strategy going forward.  My partner felt I shouldn't give up and made contact with a local instructor - Sam at Smiles Driving.  She listened to my story and together we made a decision to complete a 2 day full course with a test on the morning of the 3rd day.  The days were very long in the Summer heat of up to 34 degrees!  We had a couple of breaks, but Sam wanted to push me along to make sure I passed the test and conquered all my weak areas.  She taught me new, easier methods to deliver my manoeuvres and addressed issues with hesitancy at roundabouts and speeds on country lanes.  She made sure that I was totally ready for my test on the 3rd day and I could do anything that was asked of me. Thank you Sam"

"Thank you to Sam at Smiles Driving for helping me pass my Driving Test, she made sure everything was in place prior to my test and that I could cope with anything that was asked of me on the test day.  I had numerous Mock Tests, mixing up lots of potential routes that I could encounter on the day.  I was particularlly weak with regards to the Independant drive prior to my test and I generally fell to pieces, but Sam helped me deal with this issue and made me relax a little more so it went smoothly for me."

"Although I was pleased to pass my test first time with minimal driving faults, I am a little nervous about driving out and about on my own.  I have been driving outside my lessons daily in the family car, but mostly covering the same route.  Sam has helped with my condifence, especially negotiating roundabouts and perfecting my manoeuvres, to which I would like to thank her for everything to date - now to put it all into practice....."

"I was releived to pass my Driving Test first time, as it timed nicely with going to university and I had worked hard during my lessons with Sam to achieve the result.  I was quite nervous on the test day, as it's a completely different type of exam to what I had ever previously completed.  I enjoyed my lessons with Sam, they were relaxed but professional and worked out well for me."

"Passing my Driving Test was the best feeling ever, even better than performing in my band infront of thousands of people!  A big thank you to Sam, for getting me through this process. I am so excited to drive my car to work, band practice and getting out to seeing everyone.  Having the freedom is a great feeling!!"

"It was a relief when passing my Driving Test, as the test had been cancelled by the DSA and moved to a later date.  I had worked hard, putting every effort into my lessons with Sam and I was fortunate enough that my parents had also bought me my own car to practice in when returning home at weekends.  I have to be honest and let you know that I  felt quite tearful when passing my test and thought I had made an error on route during my test , but relieved to hear I only received 3 Driving Faults. I will miss my lessons with Sam, as we gained a good friendship and I would be happy to recommend her to my friends."

"I was so relieved when passing my Driving Test.   Although I knew I could drive and manage different roads/traffic situations, I was so nervous under test conditions.  I needed not only to be taught how to drive from Sam at Smiles Driving, but also coaching how to keep calm under pressure.  I now look forward to buying my own car and putting all what I've learn't into practice."

"It has been quite a long experience for me, as it took me a while to pass my Theory test, which then delayed me completing my Practical Driving Test.  However, I was pleased to have passed my Driving Test with Sam at Smiles Driving and she made sure that everything was in place, providing me with a high chance of passing my test.  A great releif.  Now I am able to have my freedom and drive my new Fiesta"

"After having a years break from lessons, I decided it was time to move forward and pass my test.  I had to find someone that could help me pass my test quickly, but safely.  I contacted Sam at Smiles Driving and explained my situation and previous driving experience to date.  We agreed a plan going forward and over a three day process I managed to pass my test and achieve my goal.  My life is so different now, I can move forward and expand my mobile Hair & Beauty business.   My three children are also happy as I can drive them to different places and avoid long walks home from school in the rain - I will miss Sam, as enjoyed the two days with her, but will certainly keep in touch."

"Thanks to Sam at Smiles Driving and my mum, who inbetween lessons let me drive her car as often as possible.  With their help I managed to pass my test and have the freedom that I wanted and needed with my work committments.  My boss has now given me a van to drive and I hope to have a Motorway lesson with Sam, as I work away alot and need to drive up and down the Motorway each day."

"After a 5 hour lesson on the 30th December, I managed to pass my Driving Test on New Years Eve.  I hadn't driven since August 2015, as I had previously failed my test and lost interest with the whole process.  Sam was my 3rd Driving Instructor and one I will always remember and pleased to recommend."
